Hi Mike,
I am afraid as mentioned in the eligibility section of the original
email, and the Council Constitution, you need to be an existing Kubuntu
member to be entitled to stand.
https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/Membership
(some of the info in that link may need updating, but the core applies)
We would really love to have you as a member, so this time round I would
suggest you get an application together for that, then in a years time
at the next council elections you will be able to stand.
Regards,
Rik
